A very good friend of mine, and a member here, bgeff46 was fired a few days ago From one of the Regis salons where he lives in Illinois. His store manager had him go in early that day, told him the DM resigned, and then said she had to let him go. She, also had mall security there when she did this. The reason for this, was that recently, Jeff had his picture in the local paper that covered a 30 mile radius, along with a full story on his career. Which, as the store manager puts it, "it's not fair to the other stylists that he is being treated like a star." When he asked, "why the security guards?" her answer was "because you had the cops there when you fired me from your salon 9 years ago." He said, "because you wouldn't give the key back". So you see, In my eyes, this is a personal vendetta. Not only can't she let go of the past, but she couldn't stand to see someone who worked under her enjoy his success. After all, HE worked hard for it! Stories like this make me soooo mad!!! You really gotta feel sorry for people like her right? Instead of being honered that her shop was getting positive publicity, she has to bring everyone down to her pathetic level. Sad huh? Jeff was told he might have a law suit. I have to agree with him. He asked me to post this, he is just really distraught by the whole thing. I personally think he deserves much better than this. What does everyone else think? |
